One can generalize my thoughts about "junior engineers" to "adolescents" in many cases. Children are different from adults, but far less different than popular discourse would have you believe. Most of the idea that they are a special class of person whose agency should be tightly controlled by their betters, is a self-soothing fantasy by those "betters" about their own deficiencies, not about risks to children.
To wit: "age gating" anything on the Internet is solving the wrong problem.
